Legal document courier with timed, signed evidence
A legal document courier hand-carries paperwork from one named person to another and produces timed, signed evidence that it arrived. The evidence is usually the point: when a deadline turns on the hour something was received, a record of who held it beats speed alone.
- Named person at handover
- Signed proof of delivery
- One driver, no depot stage
How is custody actually handled?
One driver takes the wallet at collection and hands it to the person named on the job. No depot, no sortation, no second pair of hands in between. Collection and delivery are both timed, and the signature is against a name you gave at booking, not whoever happened to be on reception.
If a contract has its own vetting or confidentiality requirements, raise them with dispatch before you book. Some can be arranged and some can't, and you should know which before a deadline depends on it.
- Court filings and registry deadlines
- Completion documents and signed contracts
- Service of documents on a named party
What does a legal document courier cost?
Road distance and the vehicle, same as any job. An envelope doesn't make it cheaper. You're paying for a driver's time rather than weight, so a cross-city run costs less than a cross-country one.
Across a city centre the e-bike courier is often quicker and cheaper than a van, and it gets the same signature.
- Distance between the two addresses
- Whether the driver waits for a return
- Out-of-hours and weekend collections

FAQs
Questions we get asked
What proof of delivery do I get?
A signed, timed proof of delivery emailed on completion, naming the person who took it. That record is what most of this work exists to produce, so it is part of the job rather than an extra.
Can you deliver to a court or registry before it closes?
Yes, if the road allows it. Give dispatch the closing time rather than the address alone, and the controller works back to the latest collection that still makes it.
Can the driver wait and bring signed documents back?
Yes. Waiting time is booked with the job and priced up front, and the return leg is part of the same job rather than a second booking.
Are your drivers vetted for confidential work?
One named driver holds the wallet from collection to handover, with no depot stage. If your matter needs a specific check or a signed confidentiality undertaking, tell dispatch before booking so it can be confirmed in writing.
Is a van the right vehicle for an envelope?
For a cross-country run, yes — you're buying the driver, not the space. Inside a city, an e-bike is usually faster and costs less.
